I'm getting an ICE in d-target.cc/critsecsize when I create a

obvious why - my target (ARM Cortex-M bare metal) isn't any of

gcc_unreachable(); //ARM cortex-M (ARM Thumb): Ouch!
Interestingly, it only lists OSs, not CPU architectures. If I
look at the Param struct in mars.h, it seems there is no
parameter that suits my target.
I may be able to submit a pull request to change this (at least
partially), but I'm looking for advice on how to add support
for my target.
* Does GDC/DMD need a new isARMThumb/isBareMetal/isWhatever
param?
* Should critsecsize return sizeof(target's size_t) if not
otherwise specified instead of calling gcc_unreachable()?
I realize there is a broader problem here than support for
synchronized. What's the correct way to go about adding
support for my target platform.
Thanks,
Mike
Why do you need synchronized? Are you building some kind of
multithreading library?
